DOOM: "Omicron Covid cases ‘doubling every two to three days’ in UK"

[NotAllThere]

geez, you lot of whining chunts STILL batting on? as if you make a difference to anything.

And you keep coming back to check...

In The Times today was an article concerning the results of the first analysis of the South African omicron statistics. They say it suggests there is a decoupling of fatality rates and infection rates, which, if true, means that Omicron can be allowed to rip through the population without overwhelming healthcare.

It will probably not go much higher since they run out of capacity and will have to ration them, we'll be lucky if this peaks in January

Don't worry your pretty little doom laden head, I'm sure they won't let that happen until they're sure that it's safe.
